That was a really, really amazing premier. Even though everything is so different, it absolutely stayed true to everything it needed to.

One thing I'm a bit iffy on though - how are the cats the dominant, "opressing" species on Third Earth, enslaving lizards and whatnot, if they've never even set foot outside of Thundera?! They are completely ignorant and oblivious to the world outside so how on earth could they have any effect on or power over it's inhabitants?

One other thing - what exactly are the yellow "feelers" on Claudus's head above his eyebrows? lol...kinda ruined the character design for me...

Because Lion-O called the Cat kingdom Thundera. So i was under the impression that it was the city of Thundera, not the planet. So maybe Plundar is a kingdom?

Thundera is a city on Third Earth this time around

Now I get to be there with my son with thundercats! I am totally stoked! He loved it, thanks to everyone who made this happen.

Oh man, even though I'd already seen the leaked 9 minutes a couple weeks ago, I was also choking up as it began too...and I really didn't expect that!

I feel the same...at first I thought it was really cool to see such a cameo appearance so soon but I don't like the fact he's already blind...seeing as "Thundera" gets destroyed in this iteration too, there's no reason history couldn't repeat itself...

Unless at some point we get a backstory on how he was blinded this time, I feel it is a lost opportunity for increased characterisation (if the "new" Thundercats are even bought in as recurring characters that is)...

Not sure about his character design yet either...it appears they may have de-aged him a bit?

Haha that actually made me laugh out loud when I watched it - was one of my favourite moments of the whole thing!

I also didn't like his voice...too high pitched and unthreatening...the original Mumm-Ra voice is just irreplacable!
